Southern Baptist

It’s summertime here in Austin, TX. Here, let me help you out…

THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST
(A refreshing beverage for a Southern Gentleman or Gentlewoman)

- Luzianne Sweet Tea
- Rebel Yell Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- Mint Leaves

First you are going to need to make your own sweet tea as there is no commercially pre-made sweet tea worth a darn. As far as I’m concerned Luzianne makes the best tea when it comes to making sweet tea.

Make yer tea!

2 quart size or 8 cup size Luzianne Tea bags
8 cups boiling water
1/2 to 1 cup sugar (the more the better)

Instructions:
Combine tea bags, water, and sugar in pitcher. Cover and steep for 20 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags. Chill. Makes 2 quarts.

Prepare the beverage:
Fill a mason jar full of ice. Pour the Rebel Yell about 1/4 to 1/2 the way up the glass. The more the better! Fill the remaining with your delicious sweet tea! Take a couple of mint leaves and slap them in the palm of your hand to get the aroma going and garnish your drink.

Tah-dah, enjoy your delicious summertime libation. As far as the congregation knows, you’re just enjoying a plain ol’ sweet tea fit for any teetotaler.
